More Shady Texas Tech/Attorney General info

[Jc Dobbs]

The Big XII, under the leadership of the great Yormark, should reply "Bring It."

By so doing, they would force the Tech administration to even more prominently establish their position standing alone against the traditional ethics and practices of college sports.

Disgraceful.

I did not realize that Paxton is doing his job.  The Attorney General is representing Texas Tech, which is a state university .  Paxton would do the same thing for the University of Texas if the same thing were happening to the UT quarterback.

How exactly would a conference using its bylaws to sanction Tech run afoul of any state law?  It's just a naked shakedown and another abuse of power - which our esteemed AG has a long and documented history.

They continue to embarrass themselves. The lack of self awareness is fascinating 🤨

Wait, so our tax dollars are going to support Tech”s extremely unpopular agenda?

Texas Tech is a state school.  The Attorney General is protecting a state entity.  I can tell a lot of you don't like Paxton, and none of you like Texas Tech, but the truth still matters.

A judge made his ruling in favor of a state entity.  The AG is protecting the interests of the state entity.   I personally think the Judge's ruling is insane, but that is not the point here.

The NCAA has appealed.  I think they will win in court making Paxton's letter a moot point.

No matter what happens, Texas Tech has turned this into a PR nigthmare and they have tarnished their reputation for a generation.

What angle are they going to take on the lawsuit after they don’t get invited into a super league?

So Paxton is writing legal threats against something that the Big XII might do…. Meanwhile I haven’t heard a thing from the AG’s office about the documented violation of Texas state gambling laws that Sorsby has admitted to.  His priorities are “interesting” at best.

Highly doubtful Paxton wins.  His corruption stinks too much.

University of Texas would have to willingly contradict a long standing NCAA standard of student athletes conduct.  No other University has taken that stance other than TTU.

Capiche???

No, you don't understand.  Paxton is literally doing his job by representing a state university.  Burnt orange glasses are good for Saturdays in the Fall, but for other days I prefer the truth.

Just be aware that it is Cody Campbell and Paxton who have made it political. Not OTF!

I agree this a nightmare, I agree with your thoughts on Protecting a state university. State of Texas cant donanything criminal, because Sorsby didn't make bets or was underage at the time in Texas. So, it would be a the request of the States and Federal because of cross state, I think, I am no lawyer. But, at the same time cant the Big 12 suspend him if he was under investigation by law enforcement, that would stop all this. 

End of the day, Campbell should have backed away and cut his losses. But, by doubling down is creating a lose lose for everybody. Whatever, dreams Tech had at being included in the Big boy world of college sports went out the door.

How does one suspend a current athlete at Tech from betting on a sport the play. So, you are undercut the Athletic Director and Coach, so why should the players l8sten and how do you discipline. 

So messed up.
